Salarias fasciatus (Sailfin/Algae Blenny)

The salarias enjoys all the algae we now have. Unfortunately for him we bought a window cleaner to make sure the windows stay clean

The Blennie is still doing fine

A while ago I recorded some movies, I just took the parts out from each animal separate.

First movie shows the cleaner shrimp trying to clean the salarias.


Second movie shows the salarias just hanging around

The Salarias is now 1 year in our aquarium. He was the first fish we got and is still with us

Here is a story about his first year: https://thierry.forumotion.com/red-sea-max-250-f26/salarias-fasciatus-sailfin-algae-blenny-1-year-t173.htm

The blenny is our very first fish to ever see the inside of our aquarium. He has been with us for more then a year now. It has always been a calm fish that doesn’t show very often, at least not when we are watching. He made it through both rebuilds but was stressed out when we bought the foxface some time ago. Also with the first rebuild he hide himself behind the pump cabinet in the backup aquarium, completely out of reach for us.

The Salarias has some problems with all the changes and things that took place. He stayed underneath a rock the whole weekend and was breathing quickly. Guess we need to give the aquarium a bit of a break again.

Our oldest fish is still here. He shows himself more often now, but still tried to hide whenever he can. Like yesterday when he was clearly visible, but behind the Soft Coral that was waving in front of the camera, making it undoable to focus.

This afternoon I found him in the corner of the aquarium, mouth opened and eyes closed. Our first inhabitant of the Red Sea Max had passed away. No idea what the cause could be, he always looked active, had enough to eat and even his body had no clear marks or anything.
